Expanding UH Ahuja Medical Center to Meet Community Need
In 2011, University Hospitals Ahuja Medical Center opened as a model of modern health care, a flagship facility dedicated to innovation, quality and patient-centered care. A $236 million expansion of UH Ahuja Medical Center will build on this vision, bringing new, advanced and comprehensive care programs to meet the needs of area residents.

Breast Health
Empowering patients through comprehensive care, the Breast Health Center will deliver the full spectrum of services, from preventive and wellness care to breast cancer treatment.
In addition to the new Breast Health Center, women’s services will also expand to include obstetrics, gynecology, advanced imaging, cardiology, orthopedics and gastroenterology.

Delivering unmatched care for every athlete, the world-class Drusinsky Family Sports Medicine Complex will feature a sports performance center, outpatient rehabilitation space, a sports walk-in clinic and dedicated high-tech imaging. In its first year, the complex expects to serve more than 1,350 sports performance patients.

Emergency Medicine
Delivering expert care in the moments you need it most, the UH Ahuja Emergency Department will be expanded and add Level II trauma care to accommodate a predicted 20 percent increase in ER visits; a new Short-Stay Unit will provide dedicated observation services.
The Ahuja Phase 2 expansion will transform emergency care on the eastside, expanding capacity for complex cases while reforming core Emergency Department (ED) processes such as triage assessments, managing patients under observation, and addressing the complexities of behavioral health. And, because nearly 70 percent of hospital inpatients are admitted through the ED, the effort will extend beyond the room emergency care and see expansion of surgical and imaging services as well as improvements to inpatient care.
Service Expansion
With expanding surgical, endoscopic, imaging and dialysis services, Phase 2 will promote same-day care, allowing patients to recover from the comfort and safety of home.
